Rage RC Sport Cub 400 Micro 3‑Channel RTF Airplane w/ PASS System
Overview
Ultra‑Stable Micro Trainer Designed for Easy, Confidence‑Building Flight
The Rage RC Sport Cub 400 Micro RTF is a 3‑channel micro electric airplane designed to make learning to fly RC simple, safe, and enjoyable. Styled after classic high‑wing sport trainers, the Sport Cub combines forgiving flight characteristics with Rage RC’s PASS (Pilot Assist Stability Software), allowing new pilots to gain confidence quickly while still offering fun flying for experienced users.
Lightweight, durable, and fully Ready‑to‑Fly, the Sport Cub 400 Micro is ideal for beginners flying in parks, sports fields, or other open outdoor spaces.
About the Sport Cub 400 Micro
Airframe & Trainer Design
The Sport Cub 400 Micro features a high‑wing trainer configuration, naturally providing excellent stability and gentle handling. The airframe is constructed from durable EPP foam, helping it withstand minor bumps and imperfect landings that are common during training flights.
Its compact size and light wing loading allow for slow, predictable flight, making it well suited for pilots learning throttle and directional control.
PASS Flight‑Assist Technology
The included PASS (Pilot Assist Stability Software) system is the key to the Sport Cub’s beginner‑friendly performance. PASS allows pilots to select different assistance modes that match their skill level:
-
Full Assist / Partial Assist – Automatically stabilizes the aircraft. If control is lost, releasing the sticks returns the plane to level flight.
-
Expert Mode – Reduced stabilization for more direct control, with the option to instantly re‑engage assist modes if needed.
This progressive system allows the aircraft to “grow” with the pilot, extending the useful lifespan of the model well beyond the first few flights.
Controls, Power & Electronics
The Sport Cub 400 Micro uses a 3‑channel control system (throttle, elevator, rudder), keeping operation simple and reducing pilot workload. A 2.4 GHz radio system ensures reliable, interference‑free control.
Power is supplied by a single‑cell LiPo battery, providing flight times suitable for training sessions, while the included USB charger makes recharging convenient at home or in the field.
Takeoff & Landing Flexibility
The airplane includes removable landing gear, allowing pilots to take off from smooth surfaces or hand‑launch when conditions require. The PASS system helps make hand launches and landings more forgiving, even for first‑time flyers.
